This etching, "Orlando krijgt gedwongen het geneesmiddel door Astolfo toegediend," by Louis Wilhelm Chodowiecki (1765-1805) depicts a scene from the epic poem *Orlando Furioso* by Ludovico Ariosto. The artwork showcases Orlando, a central character in the poem, being forcefully given a potion by the magician Astolfo, in a dramatic scene filled with figures and action. Chodowiecki's work is characterized by its detailed linework and expressive figures, capturing the dramatic tension of the scene and the emotional turmoil of the characters. This small-scale etching exemplifies the artist's skill in creating a powerful narrative within a constrained format.
